#Dr. Tara Quymn

Some more edits! I can't decide if Virginia is trying to steal Brock or get with both of them, but Jaz is not into it either way.

My new YouTube video about the Venture Bros episode "Dr Quymn Medicine Woman.

[ladyofdecember]

So I was rewatching Dr. Quymn Medicine Woman and there are so many parallels between Tara and Ginnie and Rusty and Brock. I mean a lot! I also only just noticed in this my thousandth rewatch that Tara and Ginnie share a bed in their cabin. There's the two cabins, one for the twins and one for them and yeah... just one bed. Make that what you will. 🤔😅

Tara Quymn (Civilian)

A spirited young girl, Tara Quymn is the daughter of Ms. Quymn and possibly Jonas Venture. She loves to play adventures and visit her friend/“half-brother” Rusty. She has a good sense of equality at a young age, wanting to play both the rescuer and the rescued. She is a neglected child who is scared easily by strange men and has a questionable childhood.

Dr Quymn (Doctor)

“Oh Rusty do you know how long it’s been?”

Tara Quymn as we know her is a grown woman living in the Amazon trying to find the cure for cancer. She feels neglected as an adult as she did in her childhood and suffers from epilepsy which may be a product of her up bringing. She has fond memories of her first boy crush Rusty but is a mature and grounded woman who sees past the type of person Rusty has grown into easily. She has two daughters who she semi-neglects herself, often seeming annoyed by them but she seems to love them. She may or may not have had a relationship with her body guard Ginny which she found unfulfilling. She hasnt made any appearances to see her step father Col. Gentlemen so we can assume they have a poor relationship.

Possible Venture Siblings

So it’s no secret the Dr Venture Sr was a huge womanizer and took advantage whenever he could (I’m going to make another post going into more detail about his evil deeds). So with the end of season 6, they all but shouted that Jonas was the father of both Rusty and The Monarch, but in a clip where he was talking to the original Blue Morpho about how he ‘knew’ his fertility science was very potent, it only confirmed my theory that Jonas 100% knew he had other children. I mean, he’s not talking about he’s sexual appeal or attractiveness, he’s talking about his ability to get a woman pregnant. So I was rewatching the series and here’s a few candidates I thought of who could be fellow Ventures. I’ll also include so notes/ideas on anyone else in the show who may not be a child by blood (as in have a mommy & daddy) but may be through some science connection (through a dna experiment).

Rusty - ok, so Rusty is the only child Jonas acknowledges as his kid, but my guess is he either A) didn’t want Rusty and only kept him because of the ‘good guy’ image it helped him maintain (how bad would it look if America’s sweetheart just gave away his son so he could keep partying) or B) he’s the result of an experiment.

J.J // RICO - ok so I’m lumpjng these 2 together because they go back to my ‘Rusty is an experiment’ theory. We know from a recent episode that our current Rusty is a clone, but my guess is that Jonas originally wanted to perfect cloning to create a way to live forever or something. A way that once the clone body was big enough (even if it aged in a tank) and then could transfer his current brain to them. Our current Rusty was the latest version, although he didn’t come out as an exact match to his father, JJ himself did (maybe they were fraternal twins with 1 being an exact clone & 1 having the same DNA but taking on recessive traits). For RICO, he’s just an early model of the cloning stage, so he may have the same DNA as Rusty but was not developed into a full human despite having all the building blocks to be one.

Dr. Quymn - The flashback scene shows her mother & Jonas sneaking their keys so they would be partnered up, telling me this wasn’t their 1st time pulling this trick. She does share a lot of the same Venture features, the red hair, lean face & build, genius iq, and although twins do run on the mothers side a high fertility could be a genetic trait passed on from either parent. And yes ew, Rusty kissed his potential sister and the twins basically tried to rape their cousin, but then again it makes sense that the creators ended it there. Aside from the whole ‘Rusty can’t win’ story line, even if they aren’t related. Plus it would also make sense that, going back to the flashback, young Rusty & Tara were innocently going to kiss as kids - Kano, Jonas & her mother could see how they were starting to see how they were growing attracted to each other romantically- and that’s at the same time both Tara and Rusty both mentioned they stopped seeing each other because their lives pulled them away, as in their parents pulled them/sent them as far away on different adventures/schools to make sure they wouldn’t become a couple.

Billy Quizboy - again, it’s all been shouted that his mother was the former hero Triple Threat, as of now Billy is the only one who doesn’t know & shes all but hasn’t said those exact words on screen. As of now we have seen absolutely zero interaction between her and Jonas, even in flashbacks. When he saw her flashback with her control collar, Jonas was not in that scene & she was not aware of say what happened on Gargantua 2, so we (the audience) aren’t sure when she left the groups, what her terms with Jonas were, what her full background was (I mean she could have been a triple agent for OSI, Team Venture & even train Cockese in her younger days for all we know) - and we have zero idea who Billy’s dad is. Then again we have zero idea who any of the offscene parents are, but as close as his mother is, one can assume it’s been just them for a long time. He also shares a few of the Venture traits, the red hair, the genius IQ, it’s hard to say about his body features due to his conditions. But with his mother being so close to Jonas, it does give some actual plausibility that he could be that father.

And yes, not all siblings would need red hair, I mean we don’t know about the mothers so depending on their traits they could dominate over. I mean technically Brock could be a brother since it was noted he was born to a single mother, and he does have a muscular build -> now I doubt he is a Venture son just because even with the muscles he looks nothing like Jonas. But than again if you compare say Dermot to Dean and Hank, I think the only thing they have in common is their nose, and even that can be a stretch.

[emeraldspiral]

I guess if you really think about it, Dean banging Sirena is just par for the course for the Venture family.

Jonas banged Blue Morpho’s wife, fathering The Monarch. He also banged Colonel Gentleman’s wife and may have been the father of Tara Quymn, whom Rusty tried to hook-up with and who’s daughters tried to seduce Dean when Hank was the one who was interested in them.

Hank banged Nikki, his dad’s ex and mother of his half-brother.

JJ hooked up with Sally after she tried and failed to have an affair with Rusty.

Rusty keeps hitting on Dr. Mrs. and trying to steal her from The Monarch.

Monarch stole Dr. Girlfriend from Phantom Limb, who then stole her back, before Monarch stole her again.

[ventureladies]

Come on season eight, let’s get screen time for these gals

Tar-Bear and her “Right hand man”

[latibulater]

redraw of tara...in the show book i remember the creators saying they wish they had done better making her more simple/cartoony in design. i wish they had also done better making her look like a real jungle scientist. i tried to meet in the middle

[latibulater]

Not exactly the redesign i was going for but I really like this anyways

[ladyofdecember]

Tara also calls her bodyguard her "man". Interesting... 😅

Rusty Venture’s Timeline (SPOILERS!)

This is an updated list of Rusty’s life and timeline up to the beginning point of the show starting. The new dates we’ve been given from Season 7 and the new art book are added here but some dates are conflicting with others due to the nature of the information we’ve been given. Beware of spoilers, obviously, if you haven’t watched recent episodes or read the book yet!

Rusty is born (Probably 1964)

Jonas Sr. at some point sleeps with Mz. Quymn and she has a daughter, Tara Quymn.

As a child, Rusty was kidnapped a lot for ransom and Jonas Sr. and Team Venture have to come and save him. So much so that Jonas Venture Sr puts a tracking device in one of his molars, unbeknownst to Rusty. We know that he did not start accompanying his father and Team Venture on adventures until he was 3 years old (1967) (Now Museum Now You Don’t, Past Tense)

Jonas Sr. at some point sleeps with The Blue Morpho's wife who is The Monarch's mother. (1967) (Arrears In Science)

The Monarch is born (1967) (Arrears In Science)

Rusty is shipwrecked on an island and went to Spanakopita for the first time (Spanakopita!) Set sometime during Jackie Onassis’ wedding, around Oct 20, 1968. Age 4

At some point Rusty meets Hector Molina and they become good friends. Hector even comes to live with them for a bit(?) (Self Medication)

At some point, The Monarch and Rusty meet each other as children (S.P.H.I.N.X. Rising) We know this occurs after the statue was built and placed on the compound’s front lawn and prior to The Monarch’s father and mother dying in a plane crash since they were present at the time. This puts their rough ages as Rusty at probably 7 and The Monarch at 4. 

When Rusty was 8 years old, the Action Man played a prank on him by throwing a fake grenade at him. When his dog, Scamp 3, ran over to it, Rusty panicked and threw himself on top of it to save his dog’s life, and in turn became injured by it piercing his kidney. He had at this point, lost two previous pet “Scamps”, which he chose to continue to name the same way each time. The original Scamp was sent into space by Jonas years before. 1972

Jonas Sr. begins having multiple “key” parties at the compound and Rusty and Tara spend a lot of time together when he is age 10 (1974) before something separates them for more than 20 years. (Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman)

Unknown date - Rusty spends many nights awakened by the Action Man holding an empty gun to his head.

When Rusty was ten years old, he wrote a letter to The Herculoids, calling them hippies for not fighting in Vietnam. (Twenty Years To Midnight) 1974

Also sometime around the age of 10, Jonas is building Gargantua I and Rusty is seen in filmstrips helping him. (Careers In Science) 1974

The Monarch’s father, The Blue Morpho, died in a plane crash when he was 8 years old (1976) just a few months out from his September birthday, when he would turn 9 (Arrears In Science)

Jonas rescues The Blue Morpho from the plane crash site and turns him into Venturion (September 30th, 1976) (Arrears In Science)

June 23, 1977 (at age 11) Rusty is attacked by the Bicentennial Man/Venturion, the robot Jonas has been working on as a product of Venture Industries, who tries to kill him by choking him to death. Rusty begins having many recurring nightmares about this event. Venturion is destroyed by Kano, then later stolen by Dr. Z. He then went off the grid for a year, and returned as Vendata later on in 1977. (Bot Seeks Bot, Arrears In Science)

Rusty has a prom at the Venture Compound, graduates from his learning bed and then goes to college all at age 17. (1982) He remained at college for an unknown number of years until learning of the news that Jonas Sr died on Gargantua I on April 9th, 1987. (Now Museum Now You Don’t, Past Tense, Arrears In Science)

The day that his father, Jonas Sr., dies Rusty immediately leaves college (drops out) and heads back to Spanakopita for the first time since he was a kid (about 20 years later). Jonas dies on Gargantua I on April 9th, 1987 so Rusty dropped out of college in 1987. (Arrears In Science) Rusty goes back to Spanakopita every year around the same time and brags he hasn’t missed a Spanakopita in “20 years”. (Past Tense, Spanakopita!) Rusty is complaining that his roommate is a freshman so he has to be at least a year above freshman year. Rusty says that he went to State University “in the 80′s”, (Pomp and Circuitry) Rusty says he had been friends with Mike for more than a year. He also mentions Mike was obsessed with Coco from Fame the year before, meaning that they can’t have attended college prior to 1980. Rusty is most likely referring to the T.V. show and not the movie Fame so this places them in their freshman year between 1982 to 1983. We also know that Rusty was < 24 in college due to his statement indicating that he didn’t have sex in college, until after he left college. (Past Tense)

The Monarch, having attended college at the same time as Rusty and Brock, most likely begins his life long arching due to some incident happening in college which Rusty does not or can not remember. He tries to blow Rusty up with a bomb while he is in the science lab but ends up only succeeding in blowing off his lab partner Underbeit’s jaw. Underbeit still blames Rusty to this day due to the fact that Rusty had skipped class that day due to his father’s death and his leaving college. April 9th, 1987 (The Invisible Hand of Fate, Arrears In Science)

Rusty then takes over Venture Industries as the sole heir 1987. He inherited his father’s fortune and went to Little Italy in New York to purchase a very expensive speedsuit, “THE AMBASCIATORE”, from Ezio. He never went back for it once it was completed, until after he inherited J.J.’s fortune about 20 years later. (Hostile Makeover) This is most likely due to his having to return to State University once flush with his inheritance and pay for the damages to the science wing. Finding that he has run out of most of the money already, he therefore couldn’t return to pay for and pick up the speedsuit from Ezio, instead returning home to try to be a super scientist and make money.

Rusty gets a bodyguard assigned to him by the O.S.I., Myra. This may be simply due to The Monarch’s constant threats and attacks. (The Invisible Hand of Fate, Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny, I Know Why The Caged Bird Kills) 

The Monarch begins routinely attacking Rusty now that they are out of college but this appears to be a solo act of his and his alone. His hostility seems to have only grown since college since whatever happened between them happened in college. Myra is always there however thwarting his attacks. (The Invisible Hand Of Fate)

Rusty loses his virginity at age 24 presumably with the boy’s true mother (not Myra) as Rusty uses condoms when he has sex but not back then. (Past Tense, Powerless In The Face Of Death) Probably in 1988

The boys are born sometime afterward by some unnamed mother, who is not Myra.

Rusty later has sex with his bodyguard, Myra (I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings)

Myra gets arrested eventually when the boys are only about a year old and still in diapers and she gets taken away by the O.S.I. Brock becomes their bodyguard, assigned as a punishment by the O.S.I. (The Invisible Hand of Fate) Rusty meets Billy Quizboy Whalen when he is 16 years old. (1989)This is the first time, having been introduced by Pete White, his former college friend. Billy goes on to know him for the next 20+ years, maintaining a close friendship. (Are You There God? It’s Me Dean)

Brock becomes Rusty and the boys’ bodyguard in the late 80's. (The Invisible Hand of Fate, Go Team Venture Art Book)

Unknown - Rusty shows Brock the clones that he has made of his sons (Perchance To Dean, Go Team Venture Art Book). They are still babies at this point and alive and well as Rusty tells him it takes pressure off of Brock having to bodyguard them. He shows him because, as Rusty tells him, he is going to be his new bodyguard so we can assume it was probably the day Brock started. Their hairstyles and clothing indicate late 1980′s

About a year(?) later Rusty either dates or just sleeps with Nikki Fictel and she has Dermott (Everybody Comes to Hank’s) so we know the boys are older than Dermott technically if not for all their deaths and rebirths and that Brock was already the Venture’s bodyguard during the time that Rusty is sleeping with Nikki (Perchance to Dean). Dermott is now however the exact same age as Hank and Dean (due to their constant dying and rebirths). We learn from the special that Dermott is seventeen, the same age as Hank and Dean (From The Ladle To The Grave).

Sheila tells The Monarch that they have been arching Rusty since “Marky Mark had a funky bunch”, so for a very long time. This would mean they started arching together around 1991. The Monarch had already been arching Rusty alone secretly for a long time.

Gary tells Sergeant Hatred that he has been storming the Venture Compound since the 90′s. If Gary was kidnapped by The Monarch and his henchmen when he was 15 (Home Insecurity) we can assume that The Monarch along with Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and their various henchmen have been arching Rusty at the compound since 1991. (Operation P.R.O.M.)

Unknown - Rusty develops an addiction to using amphetamines/”diet pills” on a routine basis which quickly becomes a problem leading Brock to be the one to watch the boys/be the responsible one more often than not.

Then a lot of time passes and the boys die a lot through various circumstances, the boys die at least 13 times (Powerless in the Face of Death). Brock mentions that Myra had hurt the boys at one point in the past so it is possible that she was responsible for their initial deaths. (I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings)

We then we open with the pilot episode of The Venture Bros (The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay)

I’ve completed this with a bit of speculation on my part for the times plus info pulled from this handy dandy timeline from The Venture Bros Wiki. A lot of info has been pulled from the wonderful @21derful who has been instrumental in nailing down years and dates for this ever present work in progress.

Any comments, suggestions, edits to the dates or other info is welcome! Please help to add on!

Yo can we get a follow-up storyline with Tara and Ginny in the movie please because I am just so obsessed with the idea of them now 😅 I wanna know if they're okay? Maybe they're married now?

So I was rewatching Dr. Quymn Medicine Woman and there are so many parallels between Tara and Ginnie and Rusty and Brock. I mean a lot! I also only just noticed in this my thousandth rewatch that Tara and Ginnie share a bed in their cabin. There's the two cabins, one for the twins and one for them and yeah... just one bed. Make that what you will. 🤔😅
